Almost forgot but today is what would've been the 60th birthday of the great Randy Rhoads. Rhoads, of course, was a founder of Quiet Riot and performed on their first two albums that were only released in Japan as well as the original guitarist for Ozzy Osborne. Rhoads played on the first two Ozzy albums and co-wrote many of the songs. Sadly, we lost Rhoads to a plane crash on March 19, 1982 at only 25 years old. Hard to believe Rhoads would've been sixty. Makes you continue to wonder what else he could've achieved.

Mega Man 4 (NES) Music - Wily Fortress 2

Mega Man 4 (NES) Music - Wily Fortress Intro

Mega Man 4 (NES) Music - Select Screen

Mega Man 4's robot bosses included Skull Man, Dive Man, Bright Man, Ring Man, Pharaoh Man, Dust Man, Drill Man, and...Toad Man. I think this was a time when Capcom was beginning to have a hard time creating new robot bosses though there were plenty of cool robot bosses throughout the years.

Mega Man 4 - Title

Happy 25th Anniversary to Mega Man 4 which was released in Japan on this day. It was the first Mega Man game to have the charged Mega Buster. Sadly, Mega Man 4 also began a dumb trend of Capcom trying to fool fans into believing Mega Man was taking on a new villain only to reveal Dr. Wily always pulling the strings. They would also continue this with the Mega Man X games as well.

Happy 25th Anniversary to Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country which would be the final movie starring the original cast though many did make guest appearances on other Star Trek shows and movies. The movie was also dedicated to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry who passed away on October 24, 1991. Apparently, Roddenberry passed only two days after watching the final cut of the movie.
